Come and judge my list.. and add to it?

[Ohshitx]

Here is what I have so far.. I have a DS and all of these names in my opinion go with his name.

Boys

Kerr
Jax
Lachlan
Macauley
Adrian
Jude
Austin
Hudson

Girls

Wren
Darcie
Indi
Peyton
Sienna
Isla
Harper
Piper

I like all of these but I’m not sure I love any of them. But time is marching on, I’m due in August.

We’re in Scotland so Lachlan and the pronunciation shouldn’t be as much of a problem as it could be.

Kerr - no
Jax - no
Lachlan - no
Macauley - no
Adrian - no
Jude - yes
Austin - no
Hudson - no

Girls

Wren - no
Darcie - ok but Darcy is better
Indi - ok but Indie is better
Peyton - no
Sienna - ok
Isla - ok
Harper - no
Piper - no

Lachlan, Jax, Sienna and Isla are 10 a penny here.

I like Kerr and Wren.

Many sound rather American as others have said. Not massively keen on any to be honest, Adrian and Jude are OK.
Ada?

Oh and I’ve just realised you are the surprise baby poster! Knew I remembered the username for somewhere. If I were you I’d choose a name that meant ‘surprise’ or something like that

O yes! Hope all is ok OP.

Here's my tuppence worth:

Boys

Kerr nope - Simple Minds fan?
Jax - nope Jack would be nicer. This sounds made up.
Lachlan - v nice
Macauley - nope
Adrian - that's from my dad's generation
Jude - lovely
Austin - 6 million dollar Man. Don't love it
Hudson - nice

Girls

Wren - love it
Darcie - nice
Indi - no not with that spelling
Peyton - no
Sienna - no
Isla - ok
Harper - lovely
Piper - no

HTH

Kerr - no, doesn't sound like a first name. Keir is better but I now think of Keir Starmer.
Jax - awful. Basement Jax(x)?? Jack is a million times nicer.
Lachlan - yes, nice, especially if you're Scottish.
Macauley - no.
Adrian - Mole. Aidan maybe?
Jude - yes, love this.
Austin - 'Danger' Powers or Austin, Texas.
Hudson - not keen. Very American/popular dog name.

Wren - meh. It's very popular on MN but I find it a bit wishy washy.
Darcie - nice but prefer 'y' ending.
Indi - definitely not with that spelling. Massively popular dog name too.
Peyton - awful. Sounds like the mean girl from some American high-school drama.
Sienna - quite like this.
Isla - nice but very popular.
Harper - ok but reminds me of the Beckhams.
Piper - ok but not the nicest name.

What about Seth, Nathaniel/Nathan (Nate) or Alexander (Alex) for a boy, or Nina or Lara for a girl? Also like pp's suggestions of Tristan and Eilidh.

Hi,

Yes it’s me.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Just need to find a girls name I love, I could pick a boys name on the spot I think.

I love Wren.
I like Robyn, October, Autumn, Seren, Elsie, Nova.

Girls:
Meredith
Maeve
Eve

Jude was the German word for Jew and therefore written on the stars of david that had to be worn during WW2 by Jewish people so unfortunately I couldn't see past that. I do like it as a name otherwise!

Your girl names are lovely, especially Wren and Sienna.

I only like Jude from the boy's list and Wren from the girl's but Wren is a bit too 'trendy' for me.
So hard to choose- it'll come to you! x

The names are mostly very currently fashionable, so not particularly original and will probably date. Except for Adrian, and not keen on that, as a pp said I think of Adrian Mole, and it's a slightly wussy name anyway. But it's OK. Aidan is similar but better.

The only names I like on your list are Jude for a boy, Sienna for a girl. But they are very 'now'.

Austin - Powers. Hudson - hate boys names ending in 'son' anyway as they're obviously surnames. Hudson is a big cold river in the USA or the butler in 'Upstairs, Downstairs'.

Isla is OK but so overdone currently that it's become boring. It means 'island' in Spanish. Not as nice as Isabel/Isobel, or Iona. Wren is just a very dull sounding name for a rather dull little bird, I can't think why it's suddenly caught on so much as a girls' name. Indi is awful as a name, you just think of 'indie' music.

Kerr❔ actually don't mind
Jax NO❌
Lachlan✔️ the best of a bad bunch
Macauley NO❌
Adrian ❔ neutral not keen but not the worst
Jude NO ❌
Austin❔ maybe
Hudson NO❌

Girls

Wren❌ hell no
Darcie✔️ don't mind it joint best with piper
Indi❔✔️ quite like it but not at the name and spelling it is (knew a girl who ended up in porn with that name so not keen)
Peyton✔️ oddly like it
Sienna❌ I actually like it so will change to ✔️ but is over used
Isla❌ no too overused
Harper❔ like it but might be overusrd
Piper✔️ like it because its not over used and not overly chavvy

From your boys list I like Lachlan & Jude.

From your girls list so like Sienna & Isla

Out of your boys names I love Lachlan, and girls name wise I really love Wren, Indi (though prefer India by a smidge), Sienna and Isla. Lovely choices!

Boys

Kerr - Cur or Carr or Kerr pronunciation? No
Jax - too similar to jacksy. No
Lachlan - fine
Macauley - too Home Alone
Adrian - No, dated.
Jude - No. Don't like it
Austin - ok, not keen
Hudson - surname, river.No

Girls

Wren - no. It's a bird
Darcie - awful
Indi - no
Peyton - No
Sienna - no
Isla - overused
Harper - no
Piper - no

I don't think we have the same taste

Hudson or Austin

Sienna or Darcie

I like Isla too but I know lots of them!

Jackson
Amos
Cooper
Parker
Wilson
Rowan

Willow
Thea
Bethan
Maya
Nicole
Eden

Lachlan
Jude
Hudson all nice
I like Jethro and Alistair too

Girls
Wren is lovely
I like Ivy and Edith

Lachlan, Kerr or Jude are all great, anything but Jax!

None of your girls names are jumping out at me, Harper is very popular with toddler girls at the minute. What about

Innes
Brodie
Cavan

Iona
Hazel
Kirstin

Jax and Indi have my vote!

Crikey I feel like you're very brave to ask people to openly have an opinion haha, some people are quite direct! .

I am early in my pregnancy but I think you should go with what YOU love, somebody will always know something or someone that puts them off it!

I think I would need to know the surname, but on face value from your list I absoloutely love Jax and Jude for boys and Wren, Indi and Piper for girls . I would consider Jax myself if it wasn't for somebody I used to work with (not fond of) having it has a nickname. Our girl's name is Seren Lily, but we are definitely not decided on a boy's name yet! We have discussed and sort of listed Reuben, Rupert, Jude and Henry. We would like something not too popular but not too unusual either! Jacob was a front runner but we've decided against it now. The middle name would be William. Suggestions welcomed!

Very excited for you being due soon!

I really like Adrian. That would be my top choice. I also like Lachlan and Jude. I really dislike Hudson and Macauley

For girls I like Wren and Piper. I like Indi as a nn. Isla is nice enough but very overused in my area

Love Austin for a boy and Wren for a girl

Love Lachlan and Austin for a boy. Isla and Wren for a girl.

I'm of the generation that links Adrian with Adrian Mole - definitely not a good association!

Have to be honest and say I really dislike some of your girls names. I think Peyton and Piper will date really badly....
